| HI, i can not login to my decated server by using root.
the password is not correct..
becasue i did something wrong with my server.
i used chmod 777 -R /public_hmtl and chown to modify my server. and i can not login anymore,
LT asked me to reload my server, do i need to reload it? any suggestions, please?

| A reload is going to be the best choice. You might be able to get them to boot to single user and run
rpm --setperms -a
Which will set the default perms back

| Tell us what LT exactly said.
I think LT think your server has been compromised, ask them to reset your root password and then you can have a look around in the server to see if anything suspecious is around, etc.

| Just be advised, if you do a reload you loose all your data. Best to have them slave the current primary drive and install a new OS on the New primary so you can restore data and investigate later.
